CHAPTER XXXIII
Mu Jinghong looked at Jin Qi'er a little anxiously, and secretly complained in her heart that she shouldn't say Yan Ting's name so easily.
Li Lanqing smiled, glanced at Shen Ying, and said, "You are all friends of Yan Ting, so are you going to find him on this trip?" ”
Jin Qi'er nodded: "Not bad." ”
Li Chaoqing continued to ask: "You friends, are there others around you?" ”
Jin Qi'er said: "Chengjiujiu is with him." ”
"Oh?" Li Chaoqing was a little surprised, and then pointed at Shen Ying and said: "That's really a coincidence, it can't be more coincidental, this apprentice of mine just worshipped Dugu Xiaoying as a teacher not long ago, just to kill your friends." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Qi'er and Mu Jinghong were dumbfounded, Mu Jinghong laughed dryly, and asked Shen Ying, "Is there some misunderstanding?" Why did you kill Yan Ting?"
Shen Ying said calmly: "Because Yan Ting killed my father. ”
Mu Jinghong was even more confused, and looked at Li Chaoqing with some blankness, Li Chaoqing just smiled and blinked mischievously.
"How can you conclude that Yan Ting killed your father?"
"There may or may not be a misunderstanding, only if you ask him himself."
Mu Jinghong was surprised in his heart, but he was very dazed, this stupid boy was obviously played by the Blood Shadow Gate, but what happened to him worshipping Dugu Xiaoying as a teacher? If he remembers correctly, Yan Ting told him that Dugu Xiaoying was hiding in a green building as a maid, how could he take him as an apprentice?
Dugu Xiaoying? Pear? Jojiu wine?
Mu Jinghong's expression was a little strange, scratched his head, and asked, "Is this Dugu Xiaoying you worship riding a little red donkey?"
Shen Ying said: "Not bad. ”
Jin Qi'er also understood instantly, she couldn't help but want to laugh, Mu Jinghong hurriedly glared at her, and said to Shen Ying: "You must be talented and intelligent to let Senior Li and Miss Xiaoying accept you as an apprentice at the same time, but Yan Ting is not so easy to kill, you still need to temper for a long time." ”
Shen Ying asked, "How high is Yan Ting's martial arts?" What weapons are used? ”
Mu Jinghong said: "It's not under me, and I don't need weapons." ”
Shen Ying suddenly said sharply: "You are lying! ”
Mu Jinghong sighed: "He himself has no weapons, he has always used whatever he catches, and I don't think he can kill your father." ”
Shen Ying's face was gloomy and uncertain, and she pointed at Mu Jinghong and scolded: "Don't protect him just because he is your friend, I will definitely ask him for clarification in person!" ”
Mu Jinghong hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't mean to protect him, you'll know when you see him yourself." ”
Shen Ying didn't intend to let go of Mu Jinghong, and said viciously: "Since you are Yan Ting's friends, you must not be a good person. ”
Mu Jinghong pointed at Jin Qi'er in astonishment, and said, "Of course I'm not a good thing, but you should always be trustworthy in the Jinhua family, and your father also has a relationship with Jinhua." ”
Jin Qi'er also nodded hurriedly and said, "Your father Shen Yushan and my mother are close friends, you should know this." ”
Shen Ying snorted coldly, which was considered a default.
Mu Jinghong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not afraid of Shen Ying, but afraid of Li Chaoqing's misunderstanding, if this sword god wanted his life, he wouldn't even dare to escape.
To Mu Jinghong's surprise, Li Chaoqing was not interested in Yan Ting's matter, he seemed to stay out of the matter, and always looked at Mu Jinghong with a soft smile on his face.
It's getting more and more interesting, Li Chaoqing thought to himself, and smiled at Mu Jinghong: "I have something I want to talk to you about alone, I wonder if you can come with me?" ”
Mu Jinghong looked at Jin Qi'er first, and then nodded excitedly, Li Chaoqing got up and walked to the depths of the mountains and forests next to the road, and Mu Jinghong followed behind him unhurriedly.
After walking for a while, Li Chaoqing sat directly on the ground without any scruples, Mu Jinghong looked at him quite funny, his dirty clothes were draped on his body at will, and his messy long hair looked like he hadn't been combed for a long time, if it weren't for the sword intent he exuded all over his body, no one would have been able to see that this would be the world-famous Li Chaoqing.
Seeing Mu Jinghong standing still, Li Chaoqing moved his body to the side and clapped his hands on the ground, Mu Jinghong understood, sat beside him, and asked, "Senior Li has something to say to me?" ”
Li Chaoqing asked, "You don't seem surprised that I will be here, but what did the pavilion master of the Tibetan Pavilion tell you?" ”
Mu Jinghong said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my predecessors." ”
Seeing that he was so sincere, Li Lanqing smiled and said, "Then I think that pavilion master should be around here, how is his martial arts?" ”
Mu Jinghong said: "Unfathomable, I have never seen her make a move, but she has the same aura as her predecessors." ”
Li asked in a hurry, "What about Chengjiu Wine?" Have you seen her make a move? ”
Mu Jinghong said: "I've seen it." ”
Li Chaoqing asked, "How does she compare to the pavilion master of the Zangjiao Pavilion?" ”
Mu Jinghong said bluntly: "Her aura is different from all of you. ”
Li Chaoqing asked, "What was her breath like when she made a move?" ”
Mu Jinghong said: "Similar to the Oriental Shenwei, it is like a calm lake that does not move, and it moves like a turbulent tsunami." ”
Li nodded in agreement, he had reached this realm ten years ago, and now he has reached the unity of human and sword, his body is already a divine sword, and this aura can no longer be hidden.
Mu Jinghong continued: "The seniors should have seen Chengjiu Wine, what do you think of her sword?" ”
Li said angrily: "No less than me." ”
Mu Jinghong nodded and said with a smile: "But you shouldn't know that she has only been using the sword for a month, and that pear blossom was given to her by Dugu Xiaoying not long ago." ”
Li ranqing blinked and asked, "She has never practiced swordsmanship?" ”
Mu Jinghong said: "Never." ”
Li Chaoqing lay on the grass, grabbed a few weeds at random and chewed them in his mouth, Mu Jinghong held his breath for fear of disturbing his thoughts.
Li Chaoqing thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Chengjiujiu wants me to wait for her for a year, do you know why it takes a year?" ”
Mu Jinghong sighed: "When Dugu Xiaoying gave her the sword, she made a promise to kill one more person for the rest of her life, but she didn't seem to want to keep it. ”
"No, you're wrong."
Li Chaoqing suddenly sat up and smiled at Mu Jinghong: "She plans to live for another year, because she, like me at that time, has lost her interest." ”
Mu Jinghong was stunned and asked, "Why do you lose your interest?" ”
Li Chaoqing smiled: "Back then, I had narrowly defeated Dongfang Shenwei in half a move, and at that moment I suddenly felt very empty, that emptiness cannot be filled by anything, only a real opponent can make me happy, but at that time, I couldn't find an opponent in the world." ”
Mu Jinghong exclaimed: "The predecessor is better than the Eastern Shenwei? ”
Li Chaoqing nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Dongfang Shenwei is different from me, he has concerns in his heart, his family, his friends, his position, these mundane things make him unable to let go, so he will miss me by half a son, I know that he will never be able to really exert his full strength, so I won, but also defeated." ”
Mu Jinghong agreed very much, if there was no Jin Qi'er, he would easily slip away and would not have any scruples.
Li Chaoqing continued: "I can understand Chengjiujiu's thoughts, if I am defeated in her hands, I am afraid there will be nothing worthy of her nostalgia in this world." ”
Mu Jinghong said: "But she is different from her predecessors back then. ”
Li asked angrily, "What's the difference?" ”
Mu Jinghong said with a smile: "Back then, the seniors were just alone, and Chengjiujiu had our friends by his side. ”
Li Chaoqing suddenly laughed, patted Mu Jinghong's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "You don't know that we don't understand, in fact, she has no friends, you are not worthy of being her friends, so she can't do without wine, and use drunkenness to numb the spiritual emptiness." ”
Mu Jinghong was silent, Li Chaoqing's words had a great impact on him, he had known Chengjiujiu for several years, and it seemed that he didn't know Li Chaoqing for a few days to know Chengjiujiu better, Li Chaoqing lay on the ground again, and said with a smile: "Shen Ying, that stupid boy originally wanted to follow Chengjiujiu, but I know that Chengjiujiu still has some trivial matters to deal with, presumably because of your friend named Yan Ting." ”
Mu Jinghong said: "Not bad. ”
Li said angrily: "So I took Shen Ying away, I want her to concentrate on dealing with those things, and fight with me with all her strength a year later." ”
Mu Jinghong suddenly panicked and asked, "Is your battle inevitable?" ”
Li nodded and said, "She should have been looking forward to it for a long time, even if I don't show up, she will definitely go to Dongfang Shenwei, no matter who wins or loses, she will not live again." ”
Mu stood up violently and asked, "What if I have to stop it?" ”
Li Chaoqing sighed: "Even if you can stop it, either she will drink and die all day long, or hide in the deserted mountains like me and no longer enter the world, but she will definitely go crazy." ”
"What's more, you simply can't stop it."
Mu Jinghong asked: "But you haven't joined the WTO for ten years, and you are still doing well." ”
Li pursed his lips and suddenly opened his shirt, Mu Jinghong was shocked and completely speechless.
The injuries on the upper body of Li Chaoqing can no longer be described in words, the wounds pierced by the sword, the wounds cut by the knife, the injuries smashed by blunt objects, and the wounds that have been burned by the fire, Li Chaoqing said lightly: "These injuries are left by myself, because I need an opponent too much, but I can't get it for a long time, I want to die but I am afraid that my swordsmanship will be lost, but I can't find a successor who can inherit my swordsmanship, all these chaotic thoughts keep tormenting me, so I can only vent with self-harm." ”
Looking at these scars, Mu Jinghong suddenly thought of Tang Xinlan of the Tang Sect Shadow Sect, and he suddenly understood why Tang Xinlan had cut herself into such an abominable appearance.
Li Chaoqing sorted out his clothes and said calmly: "I don't want you to stop Chengjiujiu, I haven't played a sword for ten years, this is my last chance, I don't think there will be a second Chengjiu in this Jianghu anymore." ”
This sentence was slightly intimidating, Mu Jinghong didn't speak, and he didn't know what to say.
Li Chaoqing stood up, hugged Mu Jinghong's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Cherish your time with Chengjiujiu for a year, after a year, she and I will be relieved." ”
